Segregation is enforced separation of races. .
It also means to separate things. A classroom can be segregate as to age, abilities, or sex. During meiosis the chromosomes also under go a segregation process.

Segregation was the state and national law of separating "coloured" people from white people. Those who were oppressed often had much worse facilities, could not visit better establishments of any kind and were not permitted certain rights that others were.

Segregation is painful when it interrupts. Segregation is a monster outside your door. Segregation is separation or isolation because of race,sex ,religion,culture, or skin color. Segregation ,also,means the act of segregation,or sequestering.

Segregation was a byproduct of the Civil War in the former Confederate states. The southerners still felt after the Civil War that the former slaves, blacks, were inferior to former slave holders, whites. Segregation is act or process of keeping human separated in their day to day lives. The whit…es in the southern United States didn't want to have to share their drinking fountains, restrooms, restaurants and hotels with those they thought of as unclean, dirty or inferior. The theory of evolution was use to reinforce the southern white folks belief in the superiority of the white race over the black race. The Bible was also use to show that Noah had cursed the offspring of Ham (Canaan) with slavery for Ham's sin. None of these things justified the action of Segregation, the treating of your own people group as superior and other people groups as inferior. All are created in the image of God: "Red and Yellow, Black and White they are precious in His sight, Jesus loves the little children of the World." And we are all inferior to God Almighty but he still loves us, and Jesus His Son died to open the only way to the Father. (MORE)

Americans generally think of segregation as a problem in thesouthern United States, where after the 1896 Supreme Court decisionof Plessy vs. Ferguson, a series of laws made the mixing of theraces illegal in schools or hospitals or theaters and evenrestricted blacks from drinking from "white only" fo…untains orusing "white only" dressing rooms in department stores. But thereality is that over the centuries, many cultures have practicedsegregation in one form or other. There are two basic types of segregation: de facto, referring tocultures where it is the custom or habit to stay away from aparticular group or restrict their access to certain services; andde jure, referring to actual laws which prohibit and criminalizethe mixing of certain groups. South Africa, for example, had dejure segregation under the name "apartheid." In America, southern states also practiced de jure segregationuntil 1954, when the Supreme Court rules in Brown vs. the Board ofEducation that de jure segregation was unconstitutional. But sadly,while on paper Brown vs. Board of Education outlawed segregation inAmerica, it persisted. Many states, including some up north,continued to practice de facto segregation, restricting blackpeople to certain neighborhoods, denying them access to certainoccupations, and not admitting them to certain schools, even whenthey were qualified to attend. There were no longer any laws on thebooks, but prejudice endured, enshrined in custom and instereotype. The same tendencies to segregate can still be seen in some othercountries too, where a particular racial or ethnic or religiousgroup is feared and ostracized, even though, technically, suchactions may not be legal.

Segregation exists mostly because of society and fear of the different. People want convenience for them even if it means disconvenience for others. We also have to remember that a lot of rules were made around 1700s, and therefor aren't much good today. .
It's not good to segregate people. We ha…ve to bring them together. If we tear them apart (when separating LGBT members and straight people, black and white, trans* and cisgendered, tall and short, fat and skinny..., the list goes on). .
Segregation, while convenient to some (for example cisgendered people and toilets) can disconvenience and in some cases drive people enough to end their life for something they could never change. .
People are all different. Segregation isn't the answer, and shouldn't be. Full stop.. (MORE)

one reason why segregation started was because the people the were making things accrue like white people and different race of people because of the way they treated other people like blacks because of the color of there skins

"Segregation" means to keep separate. In terms of people, segregation (particularly on ethnic or racial lines) is generally a BAD idea.

Segregation endes because mister martin Luther king jr. gave out his opinion on segregation and that it wasnt fair that they were treated like that! People realised that what they were doing to their slaves was wrong. mr martin decided he should end it. The white people didnt like it anymore!! they …stated liking turtles instead. they have nice bumpy shells and brilliantly curvy bodies! (MORE)

For more than 200 years before the Civil War, slavery existed in the United States. But after the war things began to get worse for blacks. The south thought they needed to do something. The Southern legislatures, former confederates, passed laws known as the black codes, after the war, which severe…ly limited the rights of blacks and segregated them from whites (MORE)

What segregation did was to separate black and white people and that mostly happened in the bus a perfect example is Rosa Parks. What happened was that Rosa would not give her seat to a white men and just for that she got arrested.

It enables more of the waste to be recycled, which reduces the drain on resources and energy when new stuff is being produced. It also reduces the amount of stuff that has to go to landfills, which is also environmentally good.

Segregation laws are laws that discriminate against a particular race, or group of people or even women as example. An interesting example of a USA segregation law was in the time leading up to the US Civil War. Most all " Northern States" had laws against slavery. What is often overlooked however w…as the fact that these states had laws forbidding former slaves from voting. (MORE)

Once the slaves were freed by the emancipation proclamation, people had still thought they were inferior because they were originally slaves. Being that people didn't want to be held on the same level as slaves, they had separated themselves from them and thus, segregation.

Segregation insulates the rich from the poor and alows the rich to feel better about themselves. the consequenses are always that those that are forcibly segragated are not segregated from doing the hard and dirty menial work for the segregators and for very low pay. It leads to eventual revolution …and then the almost inevidable poverty and injustice that come with the formation of once segragated states. (MORE)

Segregation dates all the way back to when slaves were set free when Abraham Lincoln was elected president in 1861. It really hit in the earlys 1920's all the way to about the 1960's when John F Kennedy was elected president and made schools integreted.

Educational facilities were not equal when segregated. Because ofsegregation, blacks were denied when they applied to high curiculumwhite schools. Their only option was to go to a lesser challenge,lower curiculum, all black school. This led to blacks leaving theireducational goals unmet and forbidde…n. Segregation in schoolscaused this inequality. (MORE)

The Supreme Court decision Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) legalizedracial segregation in the United States. It meant that AfricanAmericans and White Americans could not use the same public places,such as schools, restaurants, and bathrooms.

well segregation is to put off in an area just by itself so garbage segregation is to collect garbage and put it in an area where it is alone its kind of like catagorizing something it would be garbage away from everything else. In this case,the garbage may be hazardous

Because everyone on this planet has equal rights, and just because people maybe we can't understand some peoples language or don't believe in their religion, or the most simple thing like they don't have the same skin color does not mean that they should be treated differently from the way that we t…reat ourselves. Are rights should be equal and if people can't see why, then I feel sorry for them. (MORE)

Kind of a vague question, but since the category is regarding the civil war I'll go that direction. Bloody Kansas or the Border War , was a series of violent events, involving anti-slavery Free-Staters and pro-slavery "Border Ruffian" elements, that took place in the Kansas Territory and the we…stern frontier towns of the U.S. state of Missouri roughly between 1854 and 1858. At the heart of the conflict was the question of whether Kansas would enter the Union as a free state or slave state. As such, Bleeding Kansas was a proxy war between Northerners and Southerners over the issue of slavery in the United States. The term "Bleeding Kansas" was coined by Horace Greeley of the New York Tribune; the events it encompasses directly presaged the American Civil War. The United States had long struggled to balance the interests of slaveholders and abolitionists. The events later known as Bleeding Kansas were set into motion by the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, which nullified the Missouri Compromise and instead implemented the concept of popular sovereignty. An ostensibly democratic idea, popular sovereignty stated that the inhabitants of each territory or state should decide whether it would be a free or slave state; however, this resulted in immigration en masse to Kansas by activists from both sides. At one point, Kansas had two separate governments, each with its own constitution, although only one was federally recognized. On January 29, 1861, Kansas was admitted to the Union as a free state, less than three months before the Battle of Fort Sumter which began the Civil War. (MORE)

The year-long Montgomery Bus Boycott , in Montgomery, Alabama, didn't directly cause the Supreme Court to declare segregation in public transportation unconstitutional, although the boycott gave the court a compelling reason to affirm the US District Court decision in favor of the African-American …plaintiffs. Most of the Warren Court was dedicated to upholding the Fourteenth Amendment Equal Protection Clause that states: "nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

Segregation ended after Brown vs. Board of education was passed, when MLK made his speech, when the jim crow laws were killed, etc. There are many different checkpoints, but there was never a specific date of the end.

From the very moment man stepped out of the cave he began to separate himself from other people he considered to be different from him. At the same time slavery began, so these things have always been part of the history of man.

Segregation had terrible impacts on African Americans at the turn of the century. Not only were they discriminated against, but also discrimination was often violent. They were humiliated and were told they were no better than animals, and could not mix with the rest of society.
